I adapted this yummy recipe from Averie Cooks… my cookies are smaller and the process here is a bit less fussy. The cookie? Uncompromisingly good.

Soft Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

2 large egg s

1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural or homemade, too runny)

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup light brown sugar, packed

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoon baking soda

pinch salt, optional and to taste

granulated sugar, for rolling

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray with cooking spray; set aside.

Beat egg, peanut butter, butter, sugars, and vanilla on medium-high speed until fully incorporated, light and fluffy. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and beat on low speed until just incorporated. Scrape down the bowl as needed.

Use a 1” cookie scoop or your hands to make balls. Rolls each in granulated sugar and place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for about 9-10 minutes, or until tops are juuuuuuust starting to get the teeniest bit golden.
